Jail-Head

The Internet Prison is an e-project based on Presidio Modelo, a former "model prison" of Panopticon design, located on the Isla de la Juventud in Cuba. The prison was built between 1926 and 1931, during the repressive regime of Gerardo Machado. Like the same prison in another "state", the online prison will take in some new prisoners and workers from the Internet. JailHead explores the symbolic control, surveillance and tracking system used by governments and corporations throughout internet.
